Hello sir,

I got some error messages as follows:

magma_sgetrf_gpu returned error 8: function-specific error, see documentation.

magma_sgetrf_gpu returned error 4: function-specific error, see documentation.

magma_sgetrf_gpu returned error 1: function-specific error, see documentation.

I wonder what do the error numbers mean (8,4 and 1)?
Also, where should I go and check the meaning of the error numbers?

Thanks.

You can find the documentation online.

There in the dgetrf_gpu documentation, it states:

[out] info INTEGER
= 0: successful exit
< 0: if INFO = -i, the i-th argument had an illegal value or another error occured, such as memory allocation failed.
> 0: if INFO = i, U(i,i) is exactly zero. The factorization has been completed, but the factor U is exactly singular, and division by zero will occur if it is used to solve a system of equations.

Thus it appears that the matrix is singular.
